Secretary

Hey there future educators,
My name is Melissa Del Toro and I am running for TAPP's Secretary. I am a full time student who can not wait to become a full time high school English teacher. I have obtained the desire to be an educator since the very first time I stood in front of a classroom to teach a lesson some four years ago. Teaching is a passion that burns inside of me to help and educate others and it would be no less than a true honor to become secretary so I may give 110% effort to help benefit this organization. I would like to say that TAPPS is a great organization that allows for impressive learning opportunities. I would be thrilled to be elected secretary so that I may have the privilege to provide my hard work and dedication to be utilized in anyway that will help continue the progress of TAPPS.
Looking forward to a great year in TAPP,
Melissa Del Toro

President

Hi TAPP members and future members:
My name is Teresa Rodriguez and I am seeking the position as TAPP President for the
2008-09 school year. I am a full-time student, wife, and mother of three children. I believe TAPP is a great student organization whose success depends on everyone working together to grow and learn. Teaching is not only a profession it is a calling. If you have chosen to answer that call then you are putting others' success above your own and that is not for the faint of heart-- it is for the courageous. So, let's get to work and make this a memorable year for TAPP. I will be honored to work with all of you be it as president or in any position that you choose to elect me.

Vice President

Hi TAPP, I have been a member of this club for a little more than a year. During this past year, I served in the capacity as vice-president. It would delight me immensely to serve again as TAPP's vice-president. I have enjoyed working with TAPP members by giving my time. We are all in this organization together to help others while learning how to be great educators. Thank you for this opportunity to serve. Sarah Hanson

Tresurer

Hello. My name is Jaime Dubey. I have been a part of the TAPP organization since the spring of 2007. A brief background of my previous roles in TAPP include Vice President, Scholarship Committee Representative, and a representative of the Children's Shelter Event committee last Fall. This is my last semester at San Antonio College. Before moving on to UTSA, I look forward to being apart of this wonderful organization one last time. It would be a great honor to represent the TAPP group as your Treasurer this fall. I would represent the club as a trustworthy, proud, and dependable treasurer. I can not wait to work with everyone this semester, and I hope that you will consider me as TAPP Treasurer for fall, 2008. Thank You, Jaime Dubey
